Nagoshi emphasized gratitude toward fans and reaffirmed the team’s commitment to delivering a game that meets their creative ambitions.
In his message, Nagoshi stated, “Happy New Year.” He went on to acknowledge the response to the studio’s first project, saying, “Thanks to the generous support of so many people, we were able to unveil our new title, GANG OF DRAGON, which is currently in development, over the past year.” According to Nagoshi, the reaction from players has been a meaningful source of motivation. “The passion and enthusiasm we received from game fans around the world have been a tremendous source of strength and encouragement for our entire team,” he said.
Nagoshi also offered insight into the creative direction of Gang of Dragon.

He added that the team remains fully committed to producing a title they can confidently present to players worldwide.
Gang of Dragon was officially revealed during The Game Awards 2025 through a cinematic trailer. This marks the first major project from Nagoshi Studio, the independent studio founded by Nagoshi. The game is currently in development, and a release date has not yet been announced. This project represents a new chapter for Nagoshi following his long career in the industry.
